Panthers

Cam Newton was dreadful last year. His completion percentage was an abysmal 52.9% and he threw only 19 touchdowns against 14 interceptions. He struggled mightily in the run game too, as he went from ten rushing TDs and an average of 4.8 YPC in 2015 to 4.0 YPC and only five touchdowns in 2016. But in 2017, Cam has returned to form. Despite losing Kelvin Benjamin and Ted Ginn Jr., he’s been significantly more effective in both the passing and rushing games. He’s completing 60.3% of his passes and has thrown for 21 touchdowns while rushing for five more. While his total passing yardage is down from last year, he’s been far more efficient in 2017 and the result is that he’s now the fourth rated QB in terms of PPGAR. A lot of people, myself included, counted Cam out after last year’s Super Bowl hangover. However, he’s definitely back and seems poised to continue his success, perhaps even winning some fantasy football league championships in Week 16.
